Default Rio 51 modification

Has anyone tried (or better yet, know of a thread) where a Rio 51 (or similar) had an electricmotor installed as a backup? I have a NIB Rio 51. I traded my nitro trucks for it. The thought of going to the middle of a lake on a small raft isn't too appealing and I thought this might be a common modification.
